The assistance to both individuals and communities may be recorded with this in version 6.0 new object. Assistance is the action that is done for assisting victims. Monitoring of assistance projects may be done with the existing Task module.
Assistance is closely linked to the cause of why assistance is needed and what assistance is needed. The assistance that is given to victims is of different types:
- to an individual;
- to a family / extended family;
- to a group of victims;
- to a community.
The cause and needs assessment of individuals is entered in the Victim. In the future similar subobject for cause and needs assessment of community may be added to the Location item.
